*JEERA ALOO

All these years I have stayed in North India, but I never got a chance to taste the authentic recipe of Jeera Aloo.

I got to taste the adulterated versions of the recipe, with tomatoes , haldi ,garam masala ,etc.

But I was always curious to know how the real one is actually made. One Sunday Sanjeev Kapoor showed this recipe on his TV show. It was Mother’s Day and his Mother showed how to make it. So it had to be authentic, after all it came straight from a Punjabi kitchen.

It is such a simple recipe that, next day I made it for breakfast. Jeera aloo tastes yummy,try it some time.

Hi Archana – another of a jhatpat recipe, grrrrreaaaat !!!
Also wanted to let you know that I tried your Gobhi paranthas ( the recipe you posted a few posts ago ) and they turned out really well – I had made them for the first time and the whole family loved it !!

Hi Abha, yes it is quick to make. Glad you liked the gobhi parantha.Thanks for letting me know :) I hope you did not have problem rolling it .

Hi!
Found you from your comment on my blog. Hmm.. Jeera Aaloo is my fav recipe too…as it is tasty and jhatpat!
Lemme add one more tip, when I run out of corriander leaves on one busy night, I top the Jeera aloo with kasoori methi! Its yum too.
And thanks for dropping by Bhook Lagi!

Hey, I liked your tip of kasuri methi. Will definitely try it next time . Also thanks to you too, for stopping by :)

[…] Vegetable Dishes Aloo Jeera is a delicious dish of aloo (potatoes) seasoned with jeera (cumin). It goes well with rice and is highly likely to be gluten-free, barring any suspicious spice mixtures added. Here’s another simple Aloo Jeera recipe, as well as an authentic Punjabi version from Sanjeev Kapoor […]
